THE GUYS GUIDE

maintenance BEER SOAP

whatmen — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:07:59 +0000

I’m not saying that all men love beer. But if you do like to imbibe occasionally, well maybe you should consider doing so in the shower. Not that!

The black pepper and lime beer soap from the aptly named “The Beer Soap Company” is made with corona beer and can be used to “shower, shave and shampoo”. Now that is what I call extreme multitasking….and all with a beer in hand.

For more beer soap, check out The Beer Soap Company website and tell them Lesley sent you. Sure they may say “Lesley, who?”, but they’ll know….deep down they’ll know.

In general, guys don’t wear their hearts on their sleeves….but now you can wear your organs on your tee.

Yes, I think it’s funny…

More cufflinks? Yes, sure we’re moving to short sleeve weather but I couldn’t resist these lovely links in oxidized silver. They come all the way from Sweden, just like the fish, packaged in a wooden box…and with free shipping. Plus they’re just a very reasonable $54. Now that’s blogsworthy!

walls INNER CHIMP

It’s just funny is all.

One-Up Designs is open again, and I am ready to turn my dining room into a chimp haven. The dining room has always had an element of chimp, but that was mainly due to 3 young boys. So it’s time to go all in and admit that feeding time at the zoo can be stylish too!

Cool and geeky! These watches are perfect for the high school geek turned tech gazilliomaire turned Starbucks barista – yep, the economy has been tough on everyone!

Still, apart from being nice to look at these watches also need deductive reasoning to work out. Thus exercising your now unemployed brain while allowing for elusive time keeping and therefore not making you feel bad when you are watching Oprah at 3pm in your pajamas.

This is not biographical.

tshirts WOVEN FLESH

The name is a little macabre; the t-shirts are darkly fabulous. Both can be chalked up to the designers being Danish.

I first came across Woven Flesh’s work through the Rumplo site. There’s a sampling of their work on Rumplo, but for more designs go to their website where you get to pay in Krona. How cool is that!

Being on every cover of a magazine rack in Borders – that’s style! I think he even made it to the cover of Dog Fancier and Wine Enthusiast.

Can’t wait to see what the Weekly
World News has on the cover…then again YES I CAN!
